Описание:
In August 1995 David Kaczynski's wife Linda asked him a difficult question: "Do you think your brother Ted is the Unabomber?" He couldn't be, David thought. But as the couple pored over the Unabomber's seventy-eight-page manifesto, David couldn't rule out the possibility. It slowly became clear to them that Ted was likely responsible for mailing the seventeen bombs that killed three people and injured many more. Wanting to prevent further violence, David made the agonizing decision to turn his brother in to the FBI.
Every Last Tie is David's highly personal and powerful memoir of his family, as well as a meditation on the possibilities for reconciliation and maintaining family bonds. Seen through David's eyes, Ted was a brilliant, yet troubled, young mathematician and a loving older brother. Their parents were supportive and emphasized to their sons the importance of education and empathy. But as Ted grew older he became more and more withdrawn, his behavior became increasingly erratic, and he often sent angry letters to his family from his isolated cabin in rural Montana.
During Ted's trial David worked hard to save Ted from the death penalty, and since then he has been a leading activist in the anti–death penalty movement. The book concludes with an afterword by psychiatry professor and forensic psychiatrist James L. Knoll IV, who discusses the current challenges facing the mental health system in the United States as well as the link between mental illness and violence.
This book seeks to address many of the current shortcomings in the field of white-collar criminology by proposing a new universal definition for the academic subject, whilst demonstrating how this corresponds to legislative offences in practice. It addresses the relative lack of knowledge about the perpetrators of white-collar crime by presenting new analysis of data from a global survey of over 5,400 corporations on the individual characteristics of offenders.
It also reviews existing criminological theories and applies them to white-collar crime to develp a new conceptual framework that seeks to account for this form of offending behaviour. Lastly, it explains how established offender profiling techniques can be adapted and utilised in conjunction with the new data presented and concepts put forward, to produce white-collar criminal profiles that can be used proactively by organisations in the development of cutting-edge financial crime prevention and detection techniques.
About the author
R. A. Bethune holds a PhD in Criminology with the University of Edinburgh, and is both a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS). Having qualified and practiced as a Chartered Accountant (ACA) within the Forensic Services department of one of the Big 4 accounting and professional services firms, the author later moved to industry to join the financial crime function of one of the world's largest global investment banks. Having spent the last 12 years working in the practice of financial crime prevention, detection and investigation, the author brings real-life experience and perspective to the development of white-collar criminological theory in this book.
The study of white-collar crime remains a central concern for criminologists around the world and research concentrates on its nature, prevalence, causes and responses. However, most books on white-collar crime tend to focus on Anglo-American examples, which is surprising given the amount of rich data and research taking place in mainland Europe. This new handbook seeks to reset the balance and, for the first time, presents an overview of state-of-the-art research on white-collar crime in Europe.
Adding to the existing Anglo-American body of knowledge, the Handbook will discuss specific European topics and typical European features of white-collar crime. The Routledge Handbook of White-Collar and Corporate Crime in Europe consists of more than thirty chapters on topics ranging from the Icelandic Banking Crisis, to the origins of the study of white collar crime, to contemporary topics, such as white-collar crime in countries post-transition from communist regimes; the illegal e-waste trade and white-collar crime in professional football. Furthermore, the book contains extensive case study analyses of landmark European cases of white-collar crime.
The editors have gathered together the leading voices in the field and a final section offers commentaries on white-collar crime in Europe from eminent criminologists David Friedrichs and Hazel Croall. This Handbook will thus serve as a work of reference for all scholars and students engaged in the study of corporate and white-collar crime and will also set out directions for new research in the future.
